NEW YORK \u2014 Baseball\u2019s Home Run Derby is eliminating the clock.<\/p>\n

Each hitter will have 20 swings in the first round of this year\u2019s contest at Philadelphia\u2019s Citizens Bank Park on July 13, Major League Baseball said Thursday. The change coincides with a switch in broadcaster to Netflix<\/a> from ESPN, which had televised the event since 1994.<\/p>

A player who homers on swing 20 will keep on swinging until he doesn\u2019t connect for a long ball. The top four hitters advance, with distance of the longest homer used a tiebreaker.<\/p>
